Chapter 7

And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.

Après cela, je vis quatre anges debout aux quatre coins de la terre; ils retenaient les quatre vents de la terre, afin qu`il ne soufflât point de vent sur la terre, ni sur la mer, ni sur aucun arbre.

And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,

Et je vis un autre ange, qui montait du côté du soleil levant, et qui tenait le sceau du Dieu vivant; il cria d`une voix forte aux quatre anges à qui il avait été donné de faire du mal à la terre et à la mer, et il dit:

Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

Ne faites point de mal à la terre, ni à la mer, ni aux arbres, jusqu`à ce que nous ayons marqué du sceau le front des serviteurs de notre Dieu.

And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

Et j`entendis le nombre de ceux qui avaient été marqués du sceau, cent quarante-quatre mille, de toutes les tribus des fils d`Israël:

Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.

de la tribu de Juda, douze mille marqués du sceau; de la tribu de Ruben, douze mille; de la tribu de Gad, douze mille;

Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.

de la tribu d`Aser, douze mille; de la tribu de Nephthali, douze mille; de la tribu de Manassé, douze mille;

Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.

de la tribu de Siméon, douze mille; de la tribu de Lévi, douze mille; de la tribu d`Issacar, douze mille;

Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.

de la tribu de Zabulon, douze mille; de la tribu de Joseph, douze mille; de la tribu de Benjamin, douze mille marqués du sceau.

After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

Après cela, je regardai, et voici, il y avait une grande foule, que personne ne pouvait compter, de toute nation, de toute tribu, de tout peuple, et de toute langue. Ils se tenaient devant le trône et devant l`agneau, revêtus de robes blanches, et des palmes dans leurs mains.

And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

Et ils criaient d`une voix forte, en disant: Le salut est à notre Dieu qui est assis sur le trône, et à l`agneau.

And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,

Et tous les anges se tenaient autour du trône et des vieillards et des quatre êtres vivants; et ils se prosternèrent sur leur face devant le trône, et ils adorèrent Dieu,

Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.

en disant: Amen! La louange, la gloire, la sagesse, l`action de grâces, l`honneur, la puissance, et la force, soient à notre Dieu, aux siècles des siècles! Amen!

And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?

Et l`un des vieillards prit la parole et me dit: Ceux qui sont revêtus de robes blanches, qui sont-ils, et d`où sont-ils venus?

And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Je lui dis: Mon seigneur, tu le sais. Et il me dit: Ce sont ceux qui viennent de la grande tribulation; ils ont lavé leurs robes, et ils les ont blanchies dans le sang de l`agneau.

Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.

C`est pour cela qu`ils sont devant le trône de Dieu, et le servent jour et nuit dans son temple. Celui qui est assis sur le trône dressera sa tente sur eux;

They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.

ils n`auront plus faim, ils n`auront plus soif, et le soleil ne les frappera point, ni aucune chaleur.

For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

Car l`agneau qui est au milieu du trône les paîtra et les conduira aux sources des eaux de la vie, et Dieu essuiera toute larme de leurs yeux.
